Kaffe Fassett and Brandon Mably Lecture and Workshop at PQW

Lecture

The Power of Color
Saturday, September 28
7:00pm
The Mayo Concert Hall at TCNJ
$95 ticket includes a copy of Kaffe's latest book, Quilts on an English Farm.

Kaffe's lecture is designed to inspire and motivate. The presentation highlights work from his latest projects and collaborations, including his patchwork, fabric, needlepoint, mosaics, painting, and knitting designs. Much of the lecture will focus on his latest museum exhibition, The Power of Color, and his new book, Kaffe Fassett's Quilts on an English Farm.

Kaffe's inspiration comes from his and Brandon's travels throughout the world. His lecture is designed not so much to instruct but to empower and inspire the audience to create and develop their "mind's eye." Audiences leave invigorated and entranced by Kaffe's sense and use of color; they are ready to try it themselves and are encouraged to do so.

The slide show lasts approximately one hour, followed by a Q&A session and book signing. Kaffe and Brandon will remain after the lecture for as long as needed to sign all book presented by attendees.

There will be a pop-up shop of fabrics, books, kits, and other Kaffe branded items from PQW!

In his lectures and workshops, Kaffe Fassett reveals how he experiences the colors and basic shapes around him, how we can train our own eyes to see this rewarding source of creativity, and how we can, just as he does, combine striking fabrics with simple shapes to create our own spectacular quilt designs.

In each workshop, Kaffe & Brandon will teach and mentor each participant's own personal color journey through fabric choice and placement. Everyone will follow the same process of choosing fabrics as Kaffe and Brandon do when they are designing, working on a design wall flannel. The design wall flannel is then rolled up with their quilt, to take home at the end of the day. No sewing takes place during the workshop. No sewing machines needed.
